That was cool! My neighbor had special glasses and he let me look.
I live very close to the total path so I got about 95% of the effect.
Just being outside felt weird, the light dimmed quite a bit, the temperature dropped and you could see waves on the ground. I'm not sure what they were but I'll learn it soon because that's all they're talking about on TV.
I won't be able to see anything from where I live, but I already have seen a total eclipse once. It's true that the atmosphere was peculiar. We were out in the fields and it felt kinda spooky ^^ I don't remember any waves or fluctuating light; that does sound interesting. Perhaps it has something to do with your position respective to the shadow?

I think eerie is a better term for what I felt today.
I recorded it using my Polaroid Cube + but since I didn't have a filter, the footage looked more like a big blob of light.
It did turn blueish and less bright later on.
When I came back in the house my dogs were acting funny, especially the younger one. She was running in circle and looked scared for a while, that was weird! She's okay now.
Anyway if I don't show up anymore, it's because I turn into a zombie for being exposed to the eclipse.
